    But those drivers that nose in sometimes have to have 5-6 trucks move when they want to leave.

    I've been to that Pilot.At that time there was construction on that exit and I think the street the Pilot is on.I use to deliver to a customer a down from Pilot.Never get fuel there unless you're bobtailing,it's a mess there.I dropped the trailer at times while waiting to get unloaded and bobtail to the Pilot for fuel or something to eat.I'll run out of hrs looking for a place to take my 10 before ever staying at this pilot.

    You ain't nosing in at that Pilot.

    Not only will your trailer be ####ed into the adjacent spot, you'll be ####ing a lot of drivers out of a spot because you stick out too far into the aisle for anyone to maneuver around you.

    Some people never learn. One time was just sitting in the truck and saw a real nice truck park on the end spot. Man & woman got out giggling and snickering and holding hands, so I figure they weren't married. The went in the truckstop and not 2 minutes later another truck ripped out the drivers side headlight and it was hanging on the wires. The big chrome front bumper was sticking straight out in front like a big spear. The guy that hit the truck kept on going and hammer down on the interstate. The couple came back out still hugging and carrying on and for some reason they both got in on the passenger side and didn't see the damage. They left the truck stop and got on the interstate with that bumper sticking straight out in front and the headlight was on and swinging in the breeze.

    If you nose in, the rules state that you first must have a 300 inch plus wheelbase truck.

    I was watching for some good entertainment last night. Swift truck pulling a Central trailer was trying to back in next to a stretch truck, and was having a rather difficult time of it. Stretch was guiding him, so don't hate on me for not helping. Funniest part was, there was a spot between two hotshot trucks that would have been cake to back into.
